About Eight-Nine

A Nashville developer invested in its neighborhoods

Founded in 2013, Eight-Nine King Development renovates and builds homes across Nashville’s urban communities.

Our mission

Eight-Nine King Development exists to revitalize Nashville’s urban communities through thoughtful renovation and new construction. Whether the project is a single-family home, a group of townhomes or a multi-family building, our aim is the same: to respect and carry forward the character that already defines the surrounding neighborhood.

We are not a production builder. Each project is planned individually by a team with years of experience across real estate investment, development and construction.

Leadership

The people responsible for every Eight-Nine King project, from site selection through the final walkthrough.

Founder & President

Tyler King

Tyler bought his first property at 19 and has been investing in real estate ever since. After several years building his own portfolio, he founded Eight-Nine King Development in 2013.

He holds a degree in Finance from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and is a licensed REALTOR®. Tyler lives in one of the communities the firm works to revitalize, a perspective few developers share.

Chief Operating Officer

Tim King

Tim previously owned one of the leading insurance agencies in Middle Tennessee, where his involvement in real estate began. After selling the agency, he joined Eight-Nine King Development full-time.

As Chief Operating Officer, Tim leads market analysis and project selection.

Head of Construction

Ben Kelly

Ben began his construction career in 1993 as an electrical apprentice with a large electrical contractor. He quickly earned the title of foreman and went on to manage multi-million-dollar projects in hospitals, factories, supermarkets and other commercial and industrial settings.

He later founded a commercial and residential building inspection business, completing thousands of inspections. Among the first in his field to use thermal imaging, he helped change how building and construction defects are detected, reported and repaired.

Ben has worked alongside Tyler and Tim since the beginning. He is a licensed general contractor, licensed electrician and licensed home inspector, and he does more than oversee projects: he personally ensures that every Eight-Nine King home meets the standard the firm expects.
